Energy Crisis? - Not to Worry. The Blanket Is Reinvented!

The Cocoon - a Blanket for the Active Person, Another New Product By Common Bond

It's true - Necessity is the Mother of Invention

- - - -

PACIFIC GROVE, Calif., Jan. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- A Pacific Grove woman has recently designed and patented the Cocoon -- the original wearable blanket -- a blanket for the active person. And it couldn't have come any too soon in light of the increases in heating utility bills and the cut back in electric and gas. This is the perfect product to keep you warm and save you money at work and home.

If you or someone you know is always cold, the Cocoon is the perfect product. It keeps you warm and cozy, while keeping your arms free. Imagine a large, full-length, front-pocketed sweatshirt made of soft, warm polar fleece, open in the back to make it easy to get on and off while sitting. It covers your legs and holds your cold feet in a wide pocket at the bottom. If you want to get up and walk around, slip your feet out, grab the loop at the bottom, and use the ties in the right hand pocket to tie it up. For storage, when you are not using it, the Cocoon folds into the foot pocket to make a pillow. The Cocoon is the answer for anyone who wants to be warm while reading, writing in a journal, working at a computer, studying or napping. It's great to wear in a car, an airplane, at outdoor events or even at work. Businesses are not letting people use space heaters because of the high cost of running them and the danger of fire. The Cocoon is a safe and comfortable alternative. Wrap yourself and your loved ones in a Cocoon.
